Nash downgraded to week-to-week; McDonagh skates in full gear

Some news out of practice today from Rick Carpiniello, some of it good, some not good. Rick Nash, out for a few weeks with a bone bruise, has been downgraded from day-to-day to week-to-week. That’s obviously not good, as Nash is the Rangers’ best forward. They’ve been surviving on the recent hot streak for JT Miller, but Nash gives the Rangers a game changing presence in the lineup. Considering the downgrade, the most pessimistic are saying the Rangers will be without him for the rest of the season. Mark Teixeira had a similar issue this season, and it kept him out for months.

In better news, Ryan McDonagh skated in full gear, albeit in a non-contact jersey. He is symptom free, but will not play tomorrow.
